Facts of Crypto Margin Trading

Experience Pays

You could be next Vitalik Buterin, but margin trading needs only veterans. The investor should know the rules of the game. The world of cryptocurrency and on top of it applying margin trading strategy is a risky approach, and hence best suited for experts. Reading a book or a Reddit comment that says how I made $10,000 via crypto margin trading could be fabricated stories with no supported base. Hence before making any investments gain experience, get trained, acquire skills and then jump onto the arena.

Start Slow

Being a pro does not entitle you to opt for higher levels of leverage. With crypto margin trading, the mantra is – BE A TURTLE. Effective risk strategy is essential but starting slow is also much more crucial. Start by using a lower level of leverage and do not put a massive investment from day one, estimate your loss in case the market isn’t expected as you speculated.

IF you are trading too much in the crypto world that is a highly volatile market, it can even lead investors losing 200-300 BTC in a few days.

Risk Management is critical

Starting slow is one of the active risk management strategies and so is the option of using a stop loss. It boils down to “How much you can lose”? So if you bought bitcoin at $10,000, you could set a stop loss order at $8,500. It would help in limiting your loss to $2,500.Be very cautious while using stop-loss as a risk management tool, because if you set a price too close to buying price, you may lose and put a stop occur before any profit is seen. Or if you select a broader range that could also result in substantial losses. Read more here at Five Crypto Margin Trading Tips Investor Should Know
